bass: Beautiful music maker or deadly weapon?

well, my bass has been used for both. im nto sure how "deadly" it is, but it hurts like a bi*ch.

I was jamming away on the schools xb-100 and this stupid guitar player kept on making fun of me because i was a bass palyer. he kept on teasing me on how little skill is used to play bass, and how easy it is. so, finally, i got fed up with all of it, and took the body end of the bass adn slammed it into his chest. with wonderful results, he fell out of his chair onto the ground and started to wimper because the strap thinky dug into his skin. i then told him to go away, and he peacefuly left and went to cry in the bathroom (well, thats what PROBABLY happend )

so, not only the bass musical instument, it is a now considered a high-powered weapon of death!!!

you're lucky that you didn't really hurt the kid and/or he didn't tell someone (as in an adult or teacher). not only would you have gotten into some trouble, the lame guitar player (who may have only been kidding around in the first place) could have had the last laugh...

on a related note, my friend has the nirvana video "tonight, live, sold out!!!" and there is a part when they are playing love buzz and kurt stage dives. this huge stage guard (i don't know their official title) tries to pull him back on stage, probably misinterpreting kurt's move. now kurt thought this was an aggressive maneuver, so he whacked him over the head with his guitar. the big guy started bleeding from the head and started to try to beat the crap out of kurt. luckily, the guy wasn't injured very badly (it's okay, ma, it's only a flesh wound), nor was kurt.
definitely not cool.

bass guitar is pretty deadly... but try a stand up bass! one time my friend was messin around, i forget what he was saying, but really REALLY making me mad... and ya know that little endpin on the bottom of the bass that hold it up? i dug it into his leg as hard as i could, and he screamed and ran off.
before band last year, my bf and i had gotten into an argument, and he said something mean and started to walk away (one of the last word kind of things). i had my bass in my arms, and began to turn the other way to go to orchestra, when he turned around and ran back and threw his arms around me and apologized, and as i was manuevering my way to put my arms around him, i clubbed him on accident in the back of his head with my scroll!
and what about the bow? people walk by when i'm trying to play and get stabbed in their legs. good, they shouldn't have been walking so close! =)

NOT COOL!

If you can't handle some guitarist (or anyone else for that matter) rattling on out of ignorance then I think you seriously need to get over yourself.

well, if you read my other post "guitarist woes" this is that guitar player.("tink") He is still my friend and all, but we get annoyed at each other every once in a while. he was ok, by the way. it didnt severly injure him in any way, just a little bruise and a gouge in his chest, adn no, he didnt tell on me (bassbrobrad )

usually i have a very patient temperament, but one too many bass jokes gets on a guy nerves, ( i think ou know what i mean) and that is actually the first time i have ever lashed out at an individual liek that (im only 14, there is plenty of time for that )

today, me and "tink"( the guitar player) are getting along fine right now.
